When I started with chicks in 2004, I named them after women of the Old Testament:
Ruth, Naomi (who turned into Boaz), Leah, Rachel, Deborah, Esther (who turned into Mordecai), Hannah, Rahab, Dinah...
Then I gave up on chickens in 2008 when the coyotes kept eating them
. Now I've moved and have 8 little peepers in the garage under a heat lamp. I haven't given them their names yet, but I will be choosing from New Testament names such as:
Mary, Martha, Joanna, Susanna, Tabitha, Salome, Pricilla...
I can only have 6 since I'm in city limits (may try to slip in a 7th). I figure there's always a chance of loosing a baby or of having an accidental roo or two, which are against city rules, so they would need to go.
